Where to begin?
Hi all,
just arrived here after buying preview plans of an RV-7 with irresponsability  .
Irresponsability because I'm 35 Italian guy who knows a poor english and I'm aware that I've many unpleasant things to accomplish before start the construction of an airplane due of the death of my father one year ago  . So I need to accomplish something of mine to amuse myself and considering my big passion in aereonautical world and my PPL license since 2005 I've decided to start this job in advance for my timings  .
So my journey will slow (hopefully just for the moment) and as soon as I will finish to set up every thing I will push the accelerator.
So for the moment I'm going to study all the chapters of the manual and I will start to build something the ending of this year, even using a sub kit just to start  .
Greetings.

Welcome to VAF!!!
Alessandro, welcome to VAF
There are a few others from Italy here, maybe you could get together with one of them to help you get started. Look here, page 5. http://www.vansairforce.net/rvwp_country.pdf
Good to have you aboard, and good luck with your project.

welcome
Welcome Alessandro. I bought the preview plans years before the first kit. No worries. You might try the two practice kits. They are a good way to get your start.

Ciao Alessandro!
Ricorda che parli inglese molto meglio della maggior parte di noi parlano Italiano! Devo fare affidamento su Google Translate. Ripristino di una vecchia Vespa non mi ha aiutato molto. Io ancora non so pi? di qualche parola di Italiano.

Be careful.
Be careful. That binder of preview plans may be the most expensive book you've ever purchased! |

Welcome!
Alessandro, è un piacere conoscerti! Welcome to the world's finest club. I'm 400 hours into my -7 and am close to finishing up the wings. Enjoy the adventure.
You're from Sienna? Which Contrada are you from? I've been very fortunate to have visited there twice .. one of the finest cities in the world!
